Man dared girlfriend to shoot him. And she shot him dead.
When his girlfriend grabbed an antique gun during an argument, police say Rodney Lee Gilbert told her to go ahead and fire.
According to police, that's exactly what Kimberly Gustafson did. Now, Gilbert is dead, and Gustafson is behind bars.
Police were called to the couple's home on Silver Springs Boulevard in Ocala about 12:45 a.m. Thursday. Officers arriving said they found that Gilbert, 57, had been shot in the face.
He was taken to an area hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Police said they spoke to witnesses, who said Gilbert had been fighting with Gustafson over her drinking. During the argument, witnesses said Gustafson, 50, went into a bedroom, returning with an antique firearm.
When she cocked it, police say witnesses in the house, including Gilbert's ex-wife, pleaded for Gustafson not to shoot. Gustafson walked away, police said, back toward the bedroom.
But just as the confrontation was cooling, police say Gilbert stood up and told his girlfriend to "go ahead and shoot me." Witnesses told police Gilbert followed Gustafson into the hallway, telling her repeatedly to fire.
That's when police say Gustafson turned and fired, striking Gilbert in the face at point-blank range. She fled in her car and was later found on College Road, police said.
Investigators interviewed Gustafson at the Ocala Police Department, and arrested her on Friday after consulting with the State Attorney's Office, police officials said.
Gustafson was booked into the Marion County Jail, charged with manslaughter with a firearm and domestic violence. Records show she remained in jail late Friday - orlandosentinel.com
